Unfortunately there is no one answer to that question. The Tech1 is the GM unit and is integrated into the diagnostic regimen of the published factory service manuals. Therefore following the diagnostic trees in the FSM has a direct correlation. The SnapOn is a good unit but you may find that correlation to the FSM is not as direct and may not do everything the FSM requires.

Many of us use the Tech1 as described above and also use a more modern unit like ALDLDroid on an android tablet or TunerProRT on a laptop. ALDLDroid (and others) let's you datalog easily so that various parameters can be analyzed and recorded over time. There are a multitude of units that can do the job but not as completely as a Tech1. The flip side is that many of those other units are more user friendly that the Tech1.

I don't have any experience with the SnapOn unit, hopefully someone that has used it will chime in. I'm sure it will work just not sure what level of integration it has.
